I received a call from Christopher at Mitchell Comm....same thing as all the other posts. I supposedly entered a contest and won a car or other top prize and it would be in my best interest to call back. Also said that they were aware of the DNC list and they were not a telemarketer. Of course I did not call back. Said he made numerous attempts to reach me but I never received a call from them before. I also never entered any contest. I don't answer any call that I'm not familiar with. Glad I checked it out on this website though.
All of a sudden this AM three phones rang at the same time. We have a home phone, a home office phone, and my cell which has our river house phone forwarded to it. I began answering them, one was from the above number, the others were from 708-856-0829 and 708-898-2811. the person in the same voice said on all three "sorry wrong number" so it was a recording. We are on the state and federal do not call list.
My elderly Mother received this call last night around 9:30 PM!!!!! I was out at that time or else I would have told this guy where to go! No one should call after 9:00 pm on a weeknight! This 'David' guy claimed that I, not my Mother, should call him right away, that is was VERY important and urgent that he get in touch with me. I told her that I didn't know any 'David' except for my ex-husband and I sure as heck don't want to talk to -him-. This is definitely a scam. I am on the Do Not Call list too and have been since 2005. I send all these numbers to the Federal Trade Commission and file a complaint report. It is time consuming, but it seems to have cut down on some of the useless calls we get. I go out for some groceries and return to find my Mother all freaked out about this 'important' call. I hate these people who do this. I personally am out of work right now, but I swear, I would never take a job like this, something to scam people. I would not do it. Even if I had to starve, I would not take a job like this. This guy or company or whatever it is is getting reported right NOW.
I also received a call from this same number. Man said he was "Paul" from Facebook Marketing and that I had entered a contest within the last 18 months, which I have not. Also said last chance so in my best interest to call back at toll free number 866-312-9553 Ext 243. I haven't entered contest and will not return call either. Caller ID did also say Mitchell Communications.
This is a one man/woman spam site working at 325 Royal Oak Drive, Steger, IL. 60475. Anyone reading this post, please report this call to the FTC to see if we can close the operation. Scum like this needs to be put out of business.
My wife received a voicemail yesterday from this number, saying she'd won a car, and to call back at 866-312-9553. Then I received a voicemail at 6:30am today from the same guy, telling me the same thing. If I hadn't turned my ringer off before bed last night, I would have been really ticked to have been woken up by this jerk. He said his name was Christopher, and he was calling from "Van Damme Communications." He also said he's not a telemarketer, and he's aware of the DNC list, etc. That's like getting a spam email that says "This is not spam." What a dirt bag. Thankfully I have Google Voice, so I marked his number as spam, and if he ever calls back he'll get a recording saying my number is no longer in service.
